    Behaviour module for the SNMP agent notification delivery 
    information receiver.
  </modulesummary>
  <description>
    <p>This module defines the behaviour of the notification 
      delivery information receiver. </p>
    <p>A <c>snmpa_notification_delivery_info_receiver</c> compliant module 
      must export the following functions: </p>
    <list type="bulleted">
      <item>
        <p><seealso marker="#delivery_targets/3">delivery_targets/3</seealso></p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p><seealso marker="#delivery_info/4">delivery_info/4</seealso></p>
      </item>
    </list>
    <p>The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained
      below. </p>

    <p>Legacy notification delivery information receiver modules
      used a target argument on the form
      <c>{IpAddr, PortNumber}</c> instead of
      <c>{Domain, Addr}</c>, and if the SNMP Agent is run without
      changing the configuration to use transport domains
      the notification delivery information receiver will still get
      the old arguments and work as before.</p>

        <p>Inform about target addresses. </p>
        <p>This is the first function called when a notification delivery is
          in progress. It informs the <c>receiver</c> which targets will
          get the notification. The result of the delivery will be 
          provided via successive calls to <c>delivery_info/4</c> function, 
          see below.</p>

      </type>
      <desc>
        <p>Inform about delivery result.</p>
        <p>This function is called for each target in the <c>Targets</c>
          argument of the <c>delivery_targets/3</c> function, see above. </p>
        <p>The purpose is to inform the <c>receiver</c> of the 
          result of the delivery (was the notification acknowledged or 
          not) for each target.</p>
